My machine's consumption of lube oil seems normal and I add to the reservoir at reasonable intervals. Instead of the spent oil being collected by the oil/coolant separator, however, it's all ending...

My Haas Super Mini Mill has the Programmable Coolant option. The problem is that in many cases the coolant ricochets of the part and carries chips up into the umbrella tool changer. Some of these...
I've got a program that requires eleven different tools, but the toolchanger in my Haas mill only holds ten. I don't want to have two separate programs and, since the program is long, I don't want...
Hello,
We’re working on a project that entails drilling a series of 5/16” diameter holes through the wall of 6061 aluminum tubing. The wall thickness of the tubing is 3/8” and there are almost...
I'm using the G76 canned cycle with a left-hand boring tool that needs to spin counter-clockwise. At the beginning of the program segment I command S500 M04 and the spindle spins counter-clockwise,...
My Haas Super Mini Mill has both Renishaw tool and work probes. I've never been able to calibrate the work probe (it's a 40-2) really accurately and for lots of jobs I end up using indicators to...
The X-axis wear compensation in my Fanuc 0-TC control is in radial increments. A wear adjustment of 0.001", for example, makes a diametral change of 0.002". Is there a setting that will change to...
The quick change holder is an interesting idea, but would cost well over $500. I'm looking for a solution using tooling we already have.
Twelve tools are required to machine the part I'm working on, but the toolchanger for the Haas Super Mini Mill that I'm running has only ten pockets. The design of the part dictates that it stay in...
I have a Haas mill and a Renishaw 40-2 wireless probe.
I would like to incorporate code into a program to probe the surface of a part and then modify that value to establish the G54 Z offset. ...
I'm making some flange-shaped parts and need to turn some features on both sides of the flange itself. My lathe is a front-turret machine with a Fanuc OTC control. For the features on the -Z side...
I have to cut a bunch of parts with an internal 3/4-in. NPT thread and will use a G76 cycle on a lathe with a Fanuc 0Tc control. I know that NPT threads taper 0.75" per foot. I need the diameter...
When I transmit a program from my Fanuc 0Tc lathe control to my computer, it arrives with different formatting. Specifically, all of the character spaces are removed and there are two blank lines...
Thanks, Jim, but this is not quite what I need. I'm looking for the dimensions that I can actually program my tools to follow. If there was a formula that related thread height to pitch diameter...
Hi John,
Thanks for your reply. You also helped me out a few years ago when I was putting in a solenoid-controlled air blast setup. Anyway, my PCool is the newer model, so the guts look quite a...
The programmable coolant unit on my Haas Super Mini Mill began acting up yesterday. Here are the symptoms. At first, the nozzle would swing away from its programmed position. Sometimes I could get...
I've got a Romi Centur 35E with a Fanuc 0-TC control. Yesterday the machine stopped dead in the middle of a cut and alarm 408 was displayed. I called the machinery dealer and he told me to restart...
How do you remove a Royal 16C CNC collet chuck from an A2 spindle? I've taken out the three cap screws through the chuck's flange. After a few taps with a rubber mallet the chuck is free from its...
